will be smaller, with a range of more than 435 miles, the automaker says in introducing the STLA Medium platform that can be used by its 14 brands, starting with Chrysler in the U.S. All electric vehicles for Stellantis will be on one of four global platforms: STLA Small, Medium, Large, and Frame. STLA Medium will underpin front and all-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, and SUVs in the C- and D-segment, meaning compact and midsize vehicles which account for nearly half of all vehicles sold globally.
Vehicles from STLA Medium will have up to 98 kWh of useful energy which Stellantis executives say is unique for this size of vehicle. The platform uses a 400-volt architecture which will charge from 20 to 80 percent in 27 minutes, a rate of 2.4 kWh per minute.
